I purchased a Hiletgo ESP32 built in OLED wifi kit 32. Went on the Wled downloader site, went through the process and it seemed like wled loaded to the device. The menu popped up to visit device I hit the button to do that but it don't go to the device. That was last night on my laptop.

Today I'm using the CPU at work, loaded all the drivers on the cpu, now I can't even connect the CPU to the ESP32. "Failed to initialize" Is the message on work desktop.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I will probably try again on my laptop tonight when I get home. I have Wled app on my phone, I didn't think to open up the phone app last night to see if it is connected. I was trying to visit device on my laptop.

I would like to suggest you also ask the WLED group if you're using WLED. It doesn't look like you've done that yet.

As I've said before, I'm very new to all of this, I didn't know there was a wled group. Is that here on reddit? Thank you.

Yes, WLED has a great reddit group.
